| 1 | 11 | NEW COMMAND (CG135) | C W Wong | B | Led by 1L on fence over 1300 M out, set a slow pace, about half a length clear taking home turn, dug in well enough to fend off limited opposition. |
| 2 | 8 | SILLY BOY (CC094) | C K Tong | B/TT | Had the run of the race 2Ls off pace in 3rd or 4th behind a slow pace until home turn, never really threatened to win it but made the best of his position to place 2nd. |
| 3 | 6 | VITAL PATROL (CC335) | K L Chui | -- | 2-wide and 2Ls or so back in 5th until home turn, a little bit bunched 300 M out but had opportunity enough to reach quinella at least, lacked acceleration. |
| 4 | 9 | SUDDEN SPLENDOR (CE251) | A Delpech | B/XB | Always prominent within 1L or 2Ls of the pace but 3-wide no cover, staying on fairly when 1L down at 200 M, couldn't offer any more and missed a place final 100 M. |
| 5 | 4 | SUPER BALL (CD064) | F Coetzee | PC-/B2 | Tracked leader 1L off pace out 2-wide until home turn, plugged on at the same speed and edged out of the money final stages. |
| 6 | 2 | LIVERBIRD (CE055) | H W Lai | B | 3-wide with cover about 4Ls off pace in midfield at 800 M, 3Ls back in 6th taking home turn, briefly threatened to figure about 200 M but no extra late on. |
| 7 | 10 | AMAZING CHOICE (CG163) | D Nikolic | B | Switched from wide gate to fence, about 7Ls last at 1200 M, switched out 5-wide and over 5Ls back in 11th turning for home, stayed on fairly down the centre. |
| 8 | 1 | VINTAGE GOLD (CG094) | P H Lo | -- | 3-back on fence in midfield about 3Ls or 4Ls off pace until home turn, always held by principals. |
| 9 | 5 | DRAGON STRIDE (CC370) | O Doleuze | -- | 4Ls back in 8th out 2-wide at 1200 M, much the same taking home turn, failed to fire when it mattered. |
| 10 | 3 | MILITARY OPTION (CD237) | G Mosse | -- | 5Ls or 6Ls back in 10th at 1200 M, marginally closer taking home turn, very one-paced again. |
| 11 | 7 | COME HO CHOI (CE082) | D Whyte | B | Switched from widest gate to race 4-back on fence at 1200 M about 5Ls off the front, same position turning in, unable to pick up and always well held. |
| 12 | 12 | EUPHORIC KID (CB165) | M W Leung | V/TT | Always in rear and of little hope, 7Ls back at 1200 M, niggled along at 600 M, pushed out 6-wide (widest of all) off final bend, plugged on. |
